‘Govt mulled withdrawing Haj subsidy 15 yrs back’

New Delhi: The Supreme Court might have finally given a roadmap to do away with Haj subsidy but a move was afoot in the government 15 years ago to gradually withdraw the contentious assistance which did not take off.
A Cabinet note was prepared by Civil Aviation Secretary M K Kaw in 1997 when I K Gujral was Prime Minister who took a "strange route" of not convening a Cabinet meeting but a meeting of all parties.
Kaw has written about the issue in his book "An Outsider Everywhere: Revelations by an Insider", which will be released on Thursday.
